Christian Walker To Record An RBI (+130)

Christian Walker has powered his way to a .309 ISO, 19.4% barrel rate, and 58.2% fly-ball rate across the last 30 days. He's logged 19 RBIs in this 25-game span.

Fresh off a two-homer game, can Walker win his matchup against Tyler Anderson?

Anderson enters with a 4.73 ERA that is made worse thanks to a 4.89 xERA, 5.11 SIERA, and a rough 5.30 xFIP. His 5.30 xFIP is dead-last among MLB hurlers who have tossed at least 130 frames this season.

The lefty coughs up a .202 ISO, 50.5% fly-ball rate, and 1.63 home runs per nine innings to right-handed hitters. Not only has he given up at least one home run in eight straight starts, but he's allowed a whopping 10 home runs in his last five starts.

Walker can tee off, as he sports a .324 BA, .649 SLG, and a 70.8% fly-ball rate versus left-handed pitchers since the All-Star break. Batting cleanup for a Houston Astros team that is -122 to score over 4.5 runs tonight, Walker is in line to notch an RBI.

Junior Caminero To Record An RBI (+110)

A middling Tampa Bay Rays offense has -132 odds to score over 4.5 runs tonight due to a matchup against Mitchell Parker, so we can feel comfortable targeting Junior Caminero's RBI prop at plus money.

Parker's 6.01 ERA is good for the worst among eligible MLB starting pitchers, and his 5.80 xERA, 5.28 SIERA, and 5.21 xFIP hardly let him off the hook.

He's gotten absolutely rocked across his last five starts, yielding 7 home runs, 29 runs, 30 hits, and 41 baserunners through 21 frames. He's in poor form heading into this one and has surrendered a .483 SLG and 1.42 home runs per nine innings to right-handed hitters this season.

Enter Caminero, who touts a .392 ISO, .649 SLG, 21.2% barrel rate, and 44.7% fly-ball rate in the past 30 days. Those numbers allowed him to log 24 RBIs in this 25-game span. Since making his first All-Star appearance, he owns a .400 ISO on just a 15.4% strikeout rate versus lefties. Tampa Bay's offense has high expectations from the market in this one, and we can look for their cleanup hitter to help us out.

Ranger Suarez Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+106)

Ranger Suarez recorded 10 and 11 Ks his last two times out, bringing his season-long K rate up to 23.7%. The red-hot hurler has exceeded 5.5 Ks in 12 out of 20 starts this season, missing by the hook four times. As a result, I want in on the over at +106 odds.

Suarez will meet up with the Atlanta Braves, whose active roster sports a 23.3% strikeout rate (11th-highest in MLB) versus left-handed pitchers. Atlanta shows middling marks otherwise against southpaws, including a .383 SLG (19th), .312 wOBA (16th), and 99 wRC+ (18th).

Suarez gets a bump at home, touting a 3.37 xFIP and 24.4% strikeout rate in the split. He's eclipsed 5.5 Ks in 7 out of 11 home starts.

Considering Suarez's high ceiling, I want to target him in the alternate markets. You can get Suarez 7+ Strikeouts at +194 and Suarez 8+ Strikeouts at +400.
